Stem Cells Google Slides

Description

Stem cells are a fascinating area of Biotechnology and these Google Slides help to make them accessible for students.

They are engaging and interactive, with simplified diagrams and summary tasks including Venn Diagrams to compare types of stem cells and a crossword to check understanding of key terms.

These are ready to use – simply assign on Google Classroom. Animated answer slides are included so you can ask students for their thoughts before revealing the correct answer. Alternatively, you can easily upload the answers to Google Classroom for students to self-check their work.

And the Google Forms Quiz lets you easily check student progress – it’s self grading, so there’s no extra work for you!
